Description

This is not a typical cooking class, but a warm and authentic experience hosted by a local family in Cam Thanh village. Guests are welcomed into a real family home, where cooking is part of everyday life, not a tourist performance. The experience begins with a visit to a traditional local market, where guests learn how local families choose fresh ingredients and understand daily Vietnamese food culture. Back at the family home, guests prepare and cook traditional dishes using family recipes passed down through generations, guided step by step in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The journey continues with a basket boat ride in the Bay Mau Coconut Forest, where guests can enjoy rural scenery, try crab fishing, and watch a traditional basket boat performance. This experience is designed for travelers who seek genuine cultural connection, rural life, and home-style Vietnamese cooking, rather than a commercial cooking class.
